Why Days Payable Outstanding is Important [Video]

Why Days Payable Outstanding is Important

Companies can unlock value by optimizing their DPO. Note that I said “optimizing” and not “increasing” or “decreasing.” While companies generally want their days sales outstanding (DSO) and days sales in inventory (DSI) to be as low as possible, the optimal DPO is neither too high nor too low.

So what is the optimal DPO? The optimal DPO is the DPO that allows the company to:
• Take advantage of early payment discounts when appropriate
• Delay payment until it is due, thereby shortening the cash conversion cycle
• Maintain good relationships with suppliers

Early payment discounts
Suppliers frequently offer discounts to incentivize early payment. For example, a supplier that offers credit terms of “2/10, net 30” is offering a 2% discount if the supplier receives payment within 10 days.

Not all early payment discounts are attractive enough to merit paying early; a company should weigh the benefits of paying early against the benefits of retaining cash for longer. As part of this analysis, the company should calculate the interest rate that is effectively being incurred by forgoing the early payment discount.

Delay payment
Companies should strive to retain cash and delay payment of suppliers as long as possible unless there is a sufficiently attractive discount to justify early payment. Delaying payment of suppliers increases the amount of cash on hand, and that cash can be used to:

• Finance growth (product development, acquisitions, new projects, etc.)
• Invest in securities and earn a return
• Pay off short- or long-term debt
• Make a distribution to shareholders
• Improve liquidity for market shocks

If a supplier offers payment terms of “2/10, net 30” there is no benefit to paying the supplier on day 2. Even if the company finds the discount to be attractive and wishes to pay early, the company should pay as close to day 10 as possible. By allowing the company a grace period before payment is due, the supplier is essentially offering the company an interest-free loan. Companies should take advantage of the grace period and pay when the money is due.

Delaying payment until the money is due also shortens the company’s cash conversion cycle, which means the company will require less financing (this could reduce the company’s short-term borrowing costs).

Good relationships with suppliers
While a company can shorten its cash conversion cycle by delaying payment, a company shouldn’t delay payment so much that it damages relationships with its suppliers. Late payment can result in penalties, slower delivery times, and unfavorable payment terms (e.g., “cash on delivery” or “cash before delivery”). In extreme cases the supplier may even refuse to do business with the company going forward. Thus, there is a limit to the benefit of stretching out payment terms, and companies must be careful not to destroy relationships with suppliers.

Criminals like Pablo Escobar and ElChapo earn their money through crimes and get their money put into the system through money laundering. So, money laundering is getting dirty money cleaned and put into the system, making it seem like clean money. Dirty money Dirty money is something acquired through illegal means. People who get dirty money cannot show it to the authorities, or they will catch them. Cleaning of dirty money To get dirty money in the bank accounts, they must make it seem clean or legally acquired. Hence, the dirty money gets cleaned. Clean money There are many ways through which one can clean such dirty money. Once cleaned, the money is clean and can be put back into the system without tracing its origins. (Explained in detail in the video) Why is money laundering is bad? Encourages criminals to keep going Once criminals know that their dirty money can be cleaned and put back into the system as clean money, they realize there are no consequences to what they do. Hence, they continue their crimes. Harms the society These criminal activities are only harming society and putting loads of money into the pockets of the criminals. Harms the economy Any harm to society will directly harm the economy. Money laundering covers tax frauds, embezzlements, theft, and other illegal economic activities. (Explained in detail in the video) Stages of money laundering Placement The dirty money is first transferred into a bank account, mostly abroad, in those banks with very strict privacy policies. Layering The money is then divided into chunks and sent into accounts in various countries to make it hard to track by authorities. Integration The money must be brought back into the system and shown as legal. This is done by setting up a business with high cash flow on paper, and the money can be made legal through such tactics. (Explained in detail in the video) So, in this video we covered introduction and stages of money laundering. We hope you have learned much from this video.

IFRS 16 Lessor Accounting Example 3 | Operating Lease [Video]

For an operating lease under IFRS 16, the lessor does not remove the asset from its statement of financial position. Instead, the lessor retains the asset and depreciates the asset over its economic useful life. With an operating lease, the lessor never recognizes sales revenue or cost of goods sold, and it doesn't record a lease receivable or recognize interest revenue throughout the lease. Instead, the lessor recognizes lease revenue on a straight-line basis.— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
